This is the fourth in the series. I hope the you guys are enjoying the history lessons and the views. Here is some more history of the place in regards to the natives and plant life/trees of the area. Native animals in the area include the swamp wallaby, wombats and possums, the giant burrowing frog, red crowned toadlet and the broadheaded snake. In 1804 the Logrunner bird was collected at Mount Kembla. This was the first of that specimen to be scientifically described. Other Native birds include the spotted turtle dove; kookaburra, bower bird, superb blue wren, Australian magpie, pied currawong, Australian raven, common munah, honeyeater, welcome swallow Native trees include the Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon); Native Peach (Trema aspera); Bastard Rosewood (Synoum glandulosum); Native cucumber (Sicyos australis)l Hibiscus (Hibiscus heteroplyllus). I hope this gives you a better feel for the place. I love to hear your views on the work. Cheers Jason

If I read your description, to be there in Australia much particular animals and plants find , that you in other continents will not find, this comes of course because it is a large island. My brother has probably lived in Australia and returns, he misses the country too much.
